#4 Wichita State @ Illinois State Official Game Thread

[Kung Wu]

I remember one Jayhawker's snarky comments trying to belittle WSU is that we were "pretty good for a team that doesn't play above the rim". Of course that idiot never watched a WSU game in his life.

just watched the highlights and he might be wanted for murder after killing the redbird

@Gary:ParrishCBS: Wichita State improved to 20-0 tonight, and Tekele Cotton damn near killed an Illinois State Redbird. Watch this: http://cbsprt.co/1mIBRJH

Lots of chatting on ESPN Buzzer Beater.

"Who plays in a better conference, Wichita State or Arizona?"

"Wichita State. Arizona the only ranked team from the PAC-12."

[another shocker]

From the first draft of the ESPN recap. Another name for the list.

"Ryan Baker added 15 points as Wichita used a 22-6 surge out of halftime to quiet a crowd of 9,510, Illinois State's largest in three years."

that's a new one (previously ron brown). ryan baker it is!

Great call.

[kstarheel]

Can we just call it 'the dunk'?

[wusphlash]

Well, gotta go to bed now.
Not sure I can sleep because of:
1) My frustration with the first half
2) My excitement about being 20-0
3) My erection caused by Tekele's dunk

What a first half by the Birds. Great game by the Shocks though. What a dunk too.

Good luck the rest of the way.

ESPNU just showed highlights. They said they wanted to watch the Cotton dunk 70,000 more times.

What a first half by the Birds. Great game by the Shocks though. What a dunk too.

Good luck the rest of the way.

see 'ya next year

Has anyone even mentioned Cotton was hammered on that play? I guess they didn't want to rub salt in the wound after Cotton tore the manhood out of Jones.

I said the same thing when I saw the replay for the first time. Got him on the arm and with the body. Amazing dunk but should have been an And 1!

[isubirds89]

see 'ya next year

Any stud recruits coming in or too early to know officially yet? Will next year be down a bit or is there some guys capable of filling in? Shocks are definitely a great team, but could be even scarier with a true post player. Lufile seems to be coming along well though. Early was lights out too. Terrible mismatch for most teams.
